    Birthday Request

    • My name is Kenzie and I have been a big fan of yours for over six months. I mention that because my boyfriend is a HUGE, HUGE fan of yours and he got me hooked as well. I am emailing you because my boyfriend’s birthday is November 10 and I thought it would be wonderful if you could email him to wish him a happy birthday. I already bought him one of your t-shirts and if you could do this for me, I will get major brownie points in the girlfriend department. I know you must get tons of requests like this, but he would seriously flip out if you were to do this.

      Please, please, please help a fellow skeptic out, Thank you, Kenzie
